I had an order in with Dino for some Trustfire Protected 16340s. They sent Protected ones, hallelujah, but Ultrafire brand. These are too long for my Nitecore EX11.2, that's why I ordered the shorter Trustfires. This has happened right after I ordered the protected Trustfire 18650s and they sent unprotected. I had to send them a picture, and of course they gave me a gift card and I reordered the Trustfires. I'm collecting some batteries that I never wanted, all complimentary. I suggested to Summer that she get her employees some reading glasses. Supposedly I have some Trustfire Protected 18650s and 16340s coming my way. See what I get....

Nice of you to be concerned for their bottom line. :)

Good to hear things went ok.

3

I don't think they care. They don't seem to be fixing anything. In fact, it seems that orders are getting worse from them.

4

Maybe I should have used live chat? lol

5

I hope that you have used that gift card already!!!!! Sealed

Their live support is great.

It takes some patience, the CS chat people seem to be very bussy (god knows why ;) ), but they resolved my issue within the hour, got a full refund in 2 hours from the time I first contacted their live chat.

7

wonder how many tried to use it.....

8

He did.

9

I could use more TF Flames but when this thing goes like it has gone, maybe something else. Already done 2 disputes...

10

I was told my refund will take 1- 5 days. wtf!

11

Where did you get the EX-11?

12

I got my EX 11.2 at Aimkon.com Had a sale some time back, 20% off. I think I got it for $47. I have purchased several lights from him, very happy. He ships FAST! Threw in a free CR123 one time, nice touch.

Back to the original post, they sent me UltraFire 16340 a 2nd time, hilariious. Gave me another gift card! No way I was trying a 3rd time. And I never received the 18650 protecteds that I had to reorder a 2nd time. They gave me a gift card! 3 sets of batteries, none of them right, and 2 gift cards. Whatever.

LOL. Sorry to laugh, but this is so ridiculous. Really wish DD would pick up their game. They tend to have good prices, but they're service is tear jerkingly bad. I want to support them, but with things like this it's hard to.
